President-elect Donald Trump has won a second term in surprisingly comfortable fashion. The main question yet to be resolved is whether Republicans will make a clean sweep of the election. The GOP has already seized control of the Senate. There are still 27 competitive House races yet to be decided, but the GOP has a clear, though narrow edge.
The tables below detail the state of the race. The battle for control of the House will determine the extent of tax cuts Trump is able to pass and whether his efforts to roll back parts of President Biden's agenda like the Inflation Reduction Act will have a chance.
Trump Agenda Rests On House Outcome
With or without a clean sweep, Trump will still likely have power to impose broad tariffs and conduct deportations, as he sees fit. But the economic impact of such policies will be harsher if, unlike in his first term, Trump isn't able to juice the economy with tax cuts.
The table below includes 45 House races seen as potentially in play by Sabato's Crystal Ball, published by the University of Virginia's Center for Politics.
With 27 races still undecided, Republicans need to win 11 to keep control of the House. Current results show the GOP candidate leading in 14 races.

Battle For The Senate
There were 10 Senate seats seen as potentially in play on Election Day. Because Harris lost, Democrats needed to win eight races to retain their majority. However, Republicans have won the five races that have been called, giving the GOP at least a 52-seat majority that is likely to keep growing.
